Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 68 Li Hui's Plans (Please Subscribe)
"The list of nominees for captain?"

Hear the words.

Li Hui paused for a moment, a hint of surprise on his face. It wasn't because Cao Yanhua's offer was too generous; on the contrary, he felt it was too meager.

He originally thought that Cao Yanhua proposed the captain plan in order to recruit him into the headquarters by offering him a pre-selected captain position.

But now it seems that is not the case.

The other party is merely asking me to nominate someone; that's completely different from confirmation.

Nomination only means you are eligible to participate in the Captain Program; the final result does not guarantee that you will become a captain.

"Is it still just empty promises? Or has the designated team leader already been decided at the Ghost Tamer headquarters?"

Li Hui was puzzled.

Logically speaking, given the strength he has demonstrated so far, he is absolutely qualified to be a designated captain.

Even if achievements are lacking, strength is everything.

Just like He Yuelian later on, anyone who joins becomes a team leader.

In other words, even if they don't join, they are still at the captain level, so the captain status granted by headquarters seems less important.

"Yes, the captain nomination program."

Cao Yanhua continued on the other end of the phone: "The captain's plan is of great importance. Strength is one part of the selection, and so are achievements."

"Your current strength and achievements are enough to qualify you for a nomination. If you join headquarters now, there is a high chance you will be selected."

"I've already explained the captain's rights and status before, and I think you understand that he can mobilize the headquarters' resources to the greatest extent possible."

"Whether it's supernatural items or other resources, they should be prioritized for the captain's use. Other ghost tamers, even those in charge of the city, must cooperate with the captain's actions and commands."

"Headquarters values ​​top-tier ghost tamers highly. Putting work aside, I personally hope you can join headquarters. This would be more beneficial than harmful for you."

Cao Yanhua's voice on the other end of the phone sounded very sincere, as if he genuinely wanted to invite Li Hui to join the headquarters, without any selfish motives, and his words implied that he was actually thinking of Li Hui's interests.

However, Li Hui remained calm and unfazed by Cao Yanhua's words, responding instead:
"I understand the conditions offered by headquarters. As for whether or not I should join headquarters, I need to think about it carefully."

He neither agreed nor refused outright, leaving himself some room for maneuver.

As time went by, Li Hui's thoughts also began to change.

He had initially planned to join headquarters after the Captain's Plan was launched, but as his own strength grew, Li Hui had the idea of ​​creating his own force, just like Ye Zhen of the Dahai City Supernatural Forum.

Joining the headquarters or building your own faction each has its advantages, and it's hard to say which is better or worse.

However, the two seem to be able to proceed simultaneously.

After all, judging from the plot of the original work, apart from a few direct captains such as Li Jun, Wei Jing, and Lu Zhiwen, the other captains of the Ghost Tamer Headquarters all had their own ulterior motives to some extent.

Even Yang Jian, the captain of the law enforcement team, is the same; he has occupied a large city and has his own team of ghost tamers.

In a sense, they are very similar to Ye Zhen, but they can enjoy various resources from the Ghost Rider headquarters. However, in return, they also need to fulfill their duties as captains.

Whenever a paranormal event occurs in any city in China that the person in charge cannot handle, the team leaders are required to go to the rescue and take the lead. This is the price for enjoying the resources of headquarters, and it is also the point of contention for Li Hui at present.

"Ok."

Cao Yanhua's voice came through the phone again: "Think it over carefully. I hope to work with you someday."

Hear the words.

Li Hui did not respond and hung up the phone directly.

at the same time.

Dachang City.

Inside the hospital's emergency exit, Yang Jian walked alone up the steps, intending to retrieve something from an office on the top floor of the hospital.

He wanted a withered finger.

That finger was a supernatural creation developed by Wang Xiaoming, capable of suppressing vengeful spirits, and even freezing ghosts in their realms. Yang Jian had experienced this before.

The hospital has a total of 24 floors, and Yang Jian and his group's destination was Wang Xiaoming's office on the top floor.

The organization codenamed 'Hungry Ghost' has invaded, and the entire hospital has been overrun. The elevators are no longer working, so Yang Jian and his group have no choice but to use the emergency staircase.

Yang Jian had just reached the seventh floor. He was holding half a red candle in his hand. The candle was lit, but the light it emitted was an eerie green, illuminating the surroundings.

"As expected, my guess was correct. The terrifying ghost that could blow out the red ghost candle was not following me, but one of them."

Seeing that the burning speed of the ghost candle in his hand was not fast, and had almost returned to normal, Yang Jian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Their operation did not go smoothly.

A dark, bluish haze enveloped the entire hospital, significantly impacting its internal environment. It took them more than ten minutes to walk just through the hospital lobby.

Just as Yang Jian and the others left the hall, they encountered a very dangerous situation. They entered the hospital corridor, with clinic rooms on both sides.

At that moment, a commotion came from inside an orthopedic clinic, as if there were vengeful ghosts inside. Then, a ghost tamer named Ye Yong went forward to investigate and kicked open the clinic door.

Almost the instant Ye Yong kicked the door open, a pair of dark blue arms reached out from the darkness and grabbed his neck.

Without any resistance, Ye Yong was killed instantly, his eyes wide open, his head lolling to one side, his neck snapped.

Then, the pair of dark blue arms, still clutching Ye Yong's corpse, returned to the examination room. The door to the orthopedic examination room was closed again, and the sound of chewing could be heard from inside.

Yang Jian and the others did not linger at all. Led by Wang Xiaoming, they moved away from the clinic and continued forward.

But they walked for a long time and still couldn't leave the corridor, as if the passage had no end.

For safety reasons, Yang Jian lit a red ghost candle.

The eerie green flames flickered, and the swirling, dark blue aura in the corridor rapidly dissipated, the light began to return, and as the red ghost candles burned, everyone was able to see their surroundings more clearly.

The doors to the clinics on both sides of the corridor had disappeared, replaced by stiff, motionless, dark blue-black ghost infants.

There are many.

In front of each consultation room stood a terrifying figure, its eyes closed, frozen in place, seemingly asleep and not yet awake.

However, before Yang Jian could think any further, another terrifying thing happened.

He felt someone blow a breath into his ear, extinguishing the still-burning ghost candle, plunging the surroundings into darkness once more.

The sudden extinguishing of the ghost candle shocked Yang Jian. He was certain that the ghost candle had been blown out by something, and the chilling sensation was like a vengeful ghost breathing on his shoulder.

It was around that time that Yang Jian suggested splitting up with Wang Xiaoming and the others.

Wang Xiaoming disagreed at the time, but Yang Jian was determined to act alone because he suspected that a very terrifying ghost had infiltrated the team.

Yang Jian then broke away from the group and stepped onto another safe passage alone.

.........

“That vengeful ghost probably didn’t come from inside the hospital. It followed us in from the outside. Everyone is a suspect. Among them, the vengeful ghost is most likely to have followed Zhao Kaiming, while Zhang Han and Wang Xiaoming are the least suspicious.”

While thinking.

Yang Jian blew out the red ghost candle that was now only half lit.

Judging from the burning speed of the candle, there were no evil spirits around him at the moment, indicating that Yang Jian was currently safe, so he did not want to waste the candle that was only half left.

Then Yang Jian quickened his pace and hurried up the steps.

With no evil spirits around and being alone, Yang Jian climbed the stairs quickly, reaching the top floor in one go without encountering any supernatural attacks.

It is worth mentioning that.

The dark blue haze had a significant impact on Yang Jian himself. His Ghost Eye was suppressed, he was drowsy, and his Ghost Domain could not be used normally, which gave Yang Jian a great headache.

Because he will not only have to face a group of ghost babies, but also be constantly vigilant against others and beware of the dangers they may bring.

Li Hui was unaware of the current situation in Dachang City.

After hanging up on Cao Yanhua, he continued to wander the city of Dahan with a group of dead souls.

"Is the person who just called you from the 'Ghost Tamer Headquarters' you mentioned?" Yang Xiao's voice came from behind Li Hui.

"Ah."

Li Hui said, "His name is Cao Yanhua, the deputy minister of the Ghost Rider Headquarters. In terms of power, he can be considered the second-in-command of the headquarters."

Based on Li Hui's speculation, Yang Xiao behind him obviously did not know about the Ghost Riders Headquarters before talking to him.

After all, the headquarters was only established in the last two years, while Yang Xiao was left in the world of the painting at least a decade or two ago.

Yang Xiao looked slightly surprised after hearing Li Hui's words.

He had assumed that Li Hui had already joined the Ghost Riders Headquarters, but judging from the conversation just now, the other party was inviting Li Hui to join, which meant that Li Hui had not yet joined that official organization.

at this time.

A young man in the crowd spoke up:
"In my opinion, that Ghost Rider Headquarters has no sincerity at all. If you want to invite you to join, the top leader should personally invite you."

The man spoke with a serious expression, not at all like he was joking or flattering; it was as if he were stating a perfectly normal fact.

Before Li Hui could respond, the man continued, "You should know that we are all in the same boat now. The fact that the Ghost Riders headquarters doesn't value you enough almost means that we are being looked down upon along with them."

Hear this.

Li Hui swallowed back what he was about to say and then began to think about what to do next.

There are only three coffin nails in the world. One of them is overseas, and its current whereabouts are unknown. The other one is in the Endless Graveyard.

The third one is in Dachang City.

Of these three coffin nails, the one from Dachang City is the easiest to obtain at present, and its whereabouts are also the clearest.

Li Hui was clearly very envious of the supernatural item that could suppress a vengeful ghost without any solution, and he didn't want to let go of that single-target 'suppression artifact'.

Most importantly, even if he didn't take the coffin nail, it would eventually be devoured by the starving ghost, which would be too wasteful.

However, if Li Hui wants to obtain the coffin nail, he must find other ways to resolve the paranormal events in Dachang City, unless he takes the coffin nail and leaves without paying any attention to the development of the starving ghost incident.

But this is obviously impossible.

If he takes the coffin nails and doesn't want to deal with the hungry ghost in other ways, then the final result is very likely that the wishing ghost will successfully take over the hungry ghost's body.

By the time.

Given the growth rate and characteristics of the Hungry Ghost, coupled with the wisdom of the Wish Ghost, it will likely soon become truly invincible. No ghost tamer or vengeful ghost in the world will be able to match it, not even Zhang Dong, who is known as the 'Cave Emperor'.

So Li Hui's plan was to get rid of the starving ghost as well after obtaining the coffin nails.

The best solution would be to dismember the hungry ghost's body into several parts, just like in the original story, and then imprison them separately.

"Judging from the timeline, the incident involving the human head balloon at the Caesars Hotel in ZS City should be happening soon..."

When it comes to dismemberment capabilities, the top choice among supernatural items is naturally the woodcutter's knife in Li Qingzhi's hand.

Li Qingzhi, one of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, should have been dead for a long time. Putting aside other things, the headless ghost shadow he dismembered has been controlled by Yang Jian, and the ghost shadow head should have wandered to Dachuan City.

While pondering, Li Hui took action.

He stopped walking forward. The hazy ghost realm spread out and rapidly extended into the distance, with countless pieces of paper ash floating in the ghost realm.

Li Hui had seen a map when he was in Xiaozhou City, which is why he was able to enter Dahan City accurately.

Similarly, he also saw the distance between ZS City and Dahan City on the map, as well as their respective locations.

"Is it time to take action?"

The changes in the Ghost Realm were not hidden from the group of dead souls. They noticed the anomaly immediately, their expressions changed slightly, and then they looked in the direction where the Ghost Realm extended.

The hazy ghost realm stretched out in a straight line, covering a considerable distance, and the souls of the dead could not see its end.

next moment.

The group of dead souls were shocked to find that their surroundings had changed. The whole world seemed to be distorted, and everyone's vision was affected, making it impossible to make out the surrounding scenery.

However, this unusual change quickly disappeared.

When everyone could see clearly, they realized that they were no longer in the urban area of ​​Dahan City, but in another completely unfamiliar city.

And in the next moment, everyone found themselves in a deep mountain forest, and then the scenery changed again...

Their positions were changing, moving rapidly under the influence of the ghost realm. At this moment, even if they stood still, the entire world was pulling them away from their positions.

.........

Despite the stomach pain, I've endured this until now, it's 4 AM, and I feel like I'm about to die. Everything is so dark, is someone using a ghost realm? ( )
